Single Stock ReportEquitiesInformation Technology

Goldman Sachs reiterates its Buy rating on Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) and raises its 12-month price target to $300 from $285 following 2Q results that beat expectations. The firm highlights robust CY27 revenue growth guidance of 70% and gross margin visibility of 72%–73% as primary catalysts for continued stock outperformance.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Nvidia reported strong 2Q results beating consensus across revenue ($96.2bn vs. $92.4bn Street) and EPS ($2.22 vs. $2.09 Street), driven by robust Data Center demand ($89.0bn).
  • 2.Management provided CY27 (FY28) revenue growth guidance of 70%—significantly above Street consensus of 44%—with unconstrained demand estimated to exceed 100%.
  • 3.Medium-term gross margin guidance of 72%–73% for CY27 provides visibility despite HBM memory pricing pressure and the Rubin ramp, removing a key investor overhang.
